Ram:
Is Sugarland, home to so many of our Oxomiya and also desi
friends, a flood prone area?
Since it is not common to have window-boarding situations on
Houston, are you all having a tough time with it? Most of the houses
are two story there aren't they? Couldn't be easy to go board those
upper story windows.
Where are you Ram, are you in Sugarland? How are Rajen ( Katy),
Dilip (Kingwood) etc. placed? What about Kamal's locality?
Best to you all.

Thanks C'da for asking.
So far, so good. We are all making preparations - boarding up the windows, duct taping panes, storing water, emergency supplies etc.
From the local news - just heard that the eye is going to hit between Beaumont, TX and Port Arthur at 140 mph. Houston downtow to see around 100 +, North side of Houston to see 65-70 mph, Sugarland around 70+ mph.
The biggest worry may be flooding come Moday or Tuesday if the hurrican stalls over any length of time (even as far as Dallas).
I don't think any of the kharkhowas or markhowas have skipped town. A lot of people who left yesterday are still stuck in the freeways. Some are out of gas, or are just stuck in traffic. As a reference, there were reports that Houston to Dallas (normally around 4-5 hours) has taken 12+ hours if you are lucky. And once on the freeways (any freeeway), you can't turn back, as the freeways are now all on contra-flows to ease traffic out of Houston.
More later
